I Am Disappointed In Adom TV - Kumawood CEO

Mr Samuel Darko

Following his recent comments on how negatively the much talked about telenovela, Kumkum Bhagya has affected the movie industry in Ghana, Mr Samuel Darko known in the industry as Samdakus has gone ahead to express his disappointment in Adom TV.

According to the CEO of Kumawood in an interview with Anning Ogee Oscar of Bekwai based Dess FM 90.3, Adom TV has failed the local movie producers with their promises they made to them when they were coming for the first time.

"I am very much disappointed in Adom TV. When they were coming for the first time, they told us they're coming in to promote the local movie industry so I led a group of producers to help patronize Adom TV. Producers paid some amounts to them to promote our industry. Now this Kumkum Bhagya is shown throughout the week, meaning all local movies whiich were shown around that time are cancelled. Someone will buy our CDs and will come home in the evening to meet Kumkum Bhagya showing on TV. What time will the person get again to watch the local movies. They're rather promoting the foreigners instead of our own. At least the Kumkum Bhagya should be shown for about two or three times and the rest for local series. In fact, I am very disappointed."

The issue of Kumkum Bhagya and its effects on Ghana's movie industry has been a very big headache to some local producers who think the foreign series is killing the local industry. Paramount among them is Mr Samuel Darko known in the industry as Samdakus.

Meanwhile, the management of Adom TV has hinted the general public about another series titled, 'Veera'.
